Objective To explore the results, feasibility and existing problems of semi-quantitative and quantitative risk assessment models in the assessment of chemical hazard exposure in optical fiber manufacturing enterprises.  Methods The chemical hazard factors of an optical fiber enterprise in Wuhan were investigated, detected and evaluated, and the semi-quantitative and quantitative risk assessment models of occupational health of chemical hazard factors in the workplace were used for risk assessment. Results In the semi-quantitative risk assessment model, the consistency between the contact index method and the comprehensive index method was good (Kappa=0.820, P2=0.539，P<0.05), and the results were grade 1, 2, 3 and 5.  The non-carcinogenic risk hazard quotient of the quantitative risk assessment model was not consistent with the three semi-quantitative methods (Kappa=0), and the results were grade 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.   Conclusion The semi-quantitative risk assessment model is more suitable for the risk assessment of the optical fiber industry than the quantitative risk assessment model.

Application of two occupational risk assessment methods in noise assessment of a beer manufacturing enterprise / 公共卫生与预防医学

Objective To study the applicability of two different occupational health risk assessment methods for noise positions in a beer manufacturing enterprise. Methods An occupational health investigation along with the detection of occupational hazard factors were carried out in the workplace of a beer manufacturing enterprise in Wuhan. Workers with 8-hour working day equivalent sound level (LEX,8 h) ≥ 80 dB (A) were selected as research subjects. The “Guidelines for Noise Occupational Disease Risk Management” method and occupational hazard risk index method were used to assess the risk of noise jobs in the beer manufacturing company. The assessment results of the two methods were compared. Results The noise exposure level of the enterprise was between 81.2 and 91.2dB(A). The guideline method predicted that the risk of high-frequency hearing loss and noise deafness for wine bottling workers and labelers on the bottling production line was high after 35 years exposure to noise. Washing，inspection and boxing on the bottling production line and bottling up on the canning production line were at medium risk, and others were at low risk. The evaluation results of the occupational hazard risk index method showed that the bottlers, bottling workers, wine inspectors, labelers and boxers on the bottling production line were at medium risk, and other positions were at low risk. Conclusion The occupational hazard risk index method is more comprehensive to consider all the factors of health risk, and the evaluation results are close to the “Guidelines for Noise Occupational Disease Risk Management” method. The guideline method can quantitatively predict the risk of high-frequency hearing loss and noise deafness, and the risk of hearing loss increases with the extension of years of noise exposure.

Comparison of three semi-quantitative methods for assessing occupational health risk in a mechanic processing enterprise / 中国职业医学

OBJECTIVE: To compare the applicability of three semi-quantitative methods for risk assessment for occupational health in a mechanic processing enterprise. METHODS: The judgment sampling method was used to select a mechanic processing enterprise as the study subject. The occupational health risk was evaluated using contact ratio, exponential and comprehensive exponential analyzing method, and the results of different methods were compared. RESULTS: The occupational health risk level of all the posts in sandblasting, sawing, welding, grinding and painting in the mechanic processing enterprises were of moderate risk or above. The consistency of evaluation results of the contact ratio, exponential and comprehensive exponential methods was poor(weighted Kappa=0.30, P>0.05). The consistency of exponential and comprehensive exponential methods was excellent(weighted Kappa=1.00, P<0.01). When the contact concentration(E)/occupational exposure limits(OEL) is <0.50, the contact ratio method is less than or equal to the exponential method and the comprehensive exponential method. When 0.50 ≤E/OEL<2.00, the results of these three methods are consistent. When the E/OEL ≥2.00, the evaluation result of the contact ratio method is equal to or higher than the exponential method and the comprehensive exponential method.CONCLUSION: The contact ratio method is easy to obtain, simple and convenient. The exponential method is suitable for occupational disease risk factors in the workplace without OELs or unable to obtain test data, and it is more practical. The comprehensive exponential method is considered comprehensive and suitable for occupational health risk assessment in the workplace.

The different expression of NF-κB p65 protein in placental tissues between premature delivery and term delivery / 中国医师杂志

Objective To investigate the different expression of NF-κB p65 Protein in placental tissues between premature delivery and term delivery and to explore the significance of nuclear factor kB (NF-κB) protein expression in preterm delivery. Methods Fifty premature delivery pregnant women and thirty term delivery pregnant women ( were enrolled in this study. According to the way of delivery , the patients were divided into two groups. The expression of NF-κB p65 protein was analyzed by using immunohistochemistry method in the placental tissues. Results In the term delivery, NF-κB p65 was mainly negative or weak positive expressed in the cytoplasm of cells in the placental tissues. There was no demonstrable difference in immunostaining of the NF-kB p65 subunit in the placental tissues including chorion, umbilical cord and fetal membranes before and after labor ( P ＞ 0.05 ). In the premature delivery, NF-κB p65 was strongly expressed in the cytoplasm and nuclear of cells. The expression of NF-κB p65 protein in chorion and fetal membranes from premature delivery( 18% ,56% ) was significantly higher than that from normal pregnant women (6.7% ,13.3%, P ＜0.01 ). But no significant change was found for NF-κB p65 expression in umbilical cord in pregnant women with or without premature delivery ( P ＞ 0.05 ). And in fetal membranes and deciduas, there was a significant increase in the staining of immunoreactive NF-κB p65 in preterm(52.9% ,58.8% ) by caesarean section compared to tissues obtained from term delivery( 13.3%,6.7%, P ＜0.01 ). In chorion and fetal membranes, there was significant increases in the staining of immunoreactive NF-κB p65 in preterm ( 24.2%, 57.6% ) by vaginal dehvery compared to tissues obtained term delivery (6.7%, 13.3%, P ＜0.01 ). Conclusion In this study, the expression of NF-κB p65 did not show significant change in term delivery before and after labor. NF-κB p65 in premature delivery was higher than term delivery, and it had no relationship with the delivery ways.

Clinical Analysis of 130 Thrombocytopenia in Pregnancy / 中国医师杂志

Objective To explore the causes, management and outcome of pregnant women with thrombocytopenia. Methods Medical records from 1999 to 2003 were reviewed for diagnosis,treatment ,and neonatal outcome in 130 women with thrombocytopenia in Xinhua Hospital. Results Thrombocytopenia was mainly caused by prenancy-associated thrombocytopenia (PAT) in 94 (72 3%) cases,idiopathic thrombocytopenia(ITP) in 12 cases (9 2%),hepatic disease in pregnancy in 11 (8 5%)cases, pregnancy induced hypertension 10 cases and preeclampsia 4 (10 8%)cases, Rhesus isoimmunization and viral infection each 1(0 8%) case. Thrombocytopenia was identified initially at 17 +4 weeks of gestation,37 (28 5%) cases were found before 28 weeks,93 (71 5%) cases were found after 28 weeks. Prednisone was considered if the platelet count was less than 50,000/uL. Platelet transfusion was given to those with platelet count less than 50,000/uL before and after delivery. If the platelet count was less than 50,000/uL esarean delivery might be performed. The occurrence of postpartum hemorrhage was 2 3%. Bleeding occurred in two neonatals. One newborn suffered from cephalohematoma. Sixty-three cases PAT recovered spontaneousely within 1 week after delivery. Conclusion Pregnancy thrombocytopenia usually becomes evident in the third trimester. PAT is the most common type of thrombocytopenia during pregnancy. Pregnancy thrombocytopenia is not associated with bleeding diathesis in the mother. Degree of thrombocytopenia with complication was more severe(platelet count usually less than 70,000/uL). Half of ITP are symptomatic. Glucocorticoid is effective treatment for severe thrombocytopenia. Platelet transfusion may be considered when platelet count is still less than 50,000/uL before operation. Mother with ITP may affect infant.Besides therapy directing at the eiology, corticosteroids and platelet transfusion are effective treatment for severe thrombocytopenia during delivery. One half women return to a normal platelet count within one week after delivery.
